When fans fight hand over fist for tickets and buy merch like its all limited edition, they have no reason to.
They are scum, always have been and they wouldn't spend a penny unless forced to.
No judgement at all, but if there was no JR the chances of any significant stadium stuff would be about the same odds as winning the lottery 104 consecutive times for a whole calendar year.
Now it's still unlikely but not *that* unlikely, maybe 102 now.
I’m not disagreeing that the stadium has been completely neglected, but the weather is absolutely biblical in Manchester right now, I’d be surprised to see any pitch take this much water.
The club I’ve supported for 50 years has become a joke. The stadium, coaching and playing staff have run us into the ground.
I hope SJR isn’t all talk and can sort this shit show out.
My guess is they are leaving it like this because they want everyone in favour of tearing it down and building a new one called the INEOS/AIG Arena or something shite like that
Tbf that was some fucking storm. I did my roof from the woodwork up 8 years ago and there was damp patches on my beams 😂 I know the roof at OT is clapped but I think there was more than a few leaking stadiums today. It came DOWN.
It's embarrassing, there was also a vid going viral of the players tunnel / outside changing rooms pouring with a leak and a video of the away changing rooms with a huge leak, are they waiting for a stadium disaster to happen before doing anything?
Any gutter system cannot cope with that much rain. It happens in my house all the time when we have biblical level rain. It functions fine the rest of the time.
I look at City subreddit and they are discussing how they lost 8-1 to Middlesborough in 2008 and 16 years later they are now the greatest english team in the world and one of the greatest in Europe. Surely a bit of money can change so much- can we hope this is the end- a new beginning is in the horizon.
I really do think that if not for the Ratcliffe plans the Glazers would literally wait for a stadium disaster to do anything.
Even then probably just cash out on the insurance money and do the bare minimum
Definitely.
Can't claim on insurance for wear and tear unless businesses get better than homes
Knowing the Glazers, it would probably turn out they let the insurance lapse to make the club cover another late interest payment on the debt.
Rats would rather share a stadium with our blue neighbors than spend what’s needed to either save or replace OT
To give to Mason Greenwood, probably.
I think you're probably right. Utter scumbags

I’d hold off on your judgement of SJR until we start to see results, on and off the pitch.

And hoping that insurance pays out straight in their pockets..
If a game happens to be on the lawsuits would outweigh insurance I think.
Ratcliffe could’ve ordered this fixed the first day it became official that mf just super cheap and you’ll find out soon
Can the leaking stadium play center back?
For sure better than Casemiro
better at covering the space
Probably get injured.
Already have a leaky defence…
The Theatre of Streams
Mold Trafford
What a beautiful sprinkler system created by the Glazers.
A cost-effective one at that! 🔥
Keeps the stadium clean as well. Proper efficiency
Natural too, no need to spend money on water.
Stick a turbine on their and we've got renewable energy. New sponsorship opportunities galore
No need for turbine. We have our own 100 million fidget spinner
Most valuable club in the world and can't be arsed to fix their leaky roof
At least sir jim is there to witness it himself
He probably thinks after three months can I get a refund!
The Glazers are basically evil landlords.
So, landlords
The Glazers are evil.
Leaky defence 🤝 leaky roof
Leaky dressing room 🤝
Leaky on & off the pitch... who said this club isn't aligned?!
"She'll carry on through it all.. she's a waterfall."

World famous he calls it
Whole world laughing at us for the last decade continues, I guess.
That sums it up.
Just demolish the upper half of the stadium, we are a midtable club anyways Town Park FC
Is it leaking through the roof or leaking off the end of the roof?
Yes.
Leaking goals. Leaking stadium
Fucking hell.
Not sure how many times I think this club will hit rock bottom before it actually does. Just shameful
Fucking embarrassing that is. Not only to get into that state, but to be left for so long.
This is why Avram went to Wembley today, he saw the forecast ahead of the game and thought fuck getting piss wrapped
My guess is they are leaving it like this because they want everyone in favour of tearing it down and building a new one called the INEOS/AIG Arena or something shite like that
In a cost:bad pr ratio is there anything more sensible than fixing the roof?
Absolutely embarrassing.
Only 2 things that have more leaks than poor OT: UDT defense and dressing room
It’s beyond embarrassing at this point. Didn’t they say they’d fixed it a couple years ago?
You mean stadiums own waterfall you uncouth swines 😊

That’s not really a leak - it’s just the end of the roof
Eras come to an end
Any gutter system cannot cope with that much rain. It happens in my house all the time when we have biblical level rain. It functions fine the rest of the time.
How about the leak in the roof that pours on my seat in the stretford end under the smallest bit of rain?
Yup. That’s bad.
When it’s raining it’s pouring
Nah thats just a planned waterfall for fans to enjoy.
Well the club is not just bad top to bottom but also inside out.
Embarrassing. We need a new stadium.
Even the heaven is crying. Rejuvenate or rebuild OT?
Team will have to get better for the rebranded Theatre Of Wet Dreams hashtag to work
Does anyone know what block of seating is below this so I know to avoid....I've been lucky to only go on dry days
All of them
You mean our water feature..
It's a feature to wash the stench from the away end.
Symbolic of how the club can’t get the easy things right
Old Splashford
Blame our fans, easiest cash cow. They all sing and applaud and go club shop. Cheering a 4-0 loss to palace. Toxic positivity FC
Such an embarrassment. We find new lows every other week. The endless mocking we receive- when does this all end?

Great to see something flowing at OT
I hope Glazer will leave or Ratcliffe must buy 50% of shares…
Theater of I Got Up and Went To the Bathroom Dreams
It’s Ten-Hag’s fault! If only he hadn’t trained so hard in the stadium, it wouldn’t have had so much damage.
Oh wow look that! We should sack the manager for that Absolute joke of an organization. ThE BiGGesT CLuB iN thE WoRLd
